So yesterday was not good. I've been trying to walk a minimum of 3 miles a day. I found a trail near our house. But I guess maybe yesterday was too hot or something. I'm not sure what happened. I ate a good breakfast and I drank a lot of Gatorade on the walk but for some reason I got feint and almost blacked out after about a mile and a half up the trail. I had to call Josh to come pick me up in the car because I was scared I would pass out. So as badly as I want to lose weight and walk farther I realized yesterday I need to slow down and work my way slowly up to walking farther and longer. So for right now my goal is just to walk 30 minutes a day and work my way up to more slowly. I weigh 119 lbs right now. I want to lose about 10 lbs and no more than 20 lbs. I also want to walk to prevent or at least slow down on developing diabetes. I'm more prone to getting it in the future so I really need to make sure I exercise and eat right to slow that down because I really don't want it. The trail behind our house goes all the way through the Teton Mountains for about 30 miles. Of course I doubt I will ever be able to walk 30 miles but I'm hoping one day eventually to be able to walk about 13 miles up the trail. The safer option is to just walk the neighborhood around the block so I'm close to home but I really love nature and trails. I just wish Josh or a friend would come walking with me. I'd feel safer if I wasn't walking it alone. So yesterday I walked a total of 2.9 miles but that wasn't all the trail. I got a pedometer on my cell phone to keep track.
